For MHC-GNV99D
Place the front speakers at an angle of 45
degrees from your listening position.
For MHC-GNV111D
There are 2 different ways to place the speakers.
To enjoy and create a party environment, we
recommend that you place your speakers as
shown in Example 1.
Example 1
Place the speakers at an equal distance (A)
from your listening position as shown
below.
Example 2
Place the surround speakers beside the
front speakers as shown below.
Notes
Do not place the surround speakers on top of a TV.
This may cause distortion of the colors in the TV
screen.
If you place the center speaker on the unit, be sure to
place it at the front side of the unit.
Place the subwoofer on solid floor where resonance
is unlikely to occur so that a better bass reproduction
could be obtained.
Always place the subwoofer vertically, keeping it a
few centimeters away from the wall.
If the subwoofer is placed in the center of a room, the
bass could be extremely weakened. This is due to the
influence of the standing wave of the room. If this
happens, move the subwoofer away from the center
of the room or eliminate the cause of the standing
wave, by placing a bookshelf against the wall, etc.
Tip
You can enjoy 5.1 channel surround sound while
playing a DVD VIDEO. To adjust the speaker volume
and level, see page 52.
Speaker settings
To enjoy multi-channel source sound and Dolby
surround effects, adjust the speakers distance
and level, see “Speakers settings” on page 49.
